💡 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 "𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀"
Last month, I worked on a client project that needed to show special offers to users for a limited time - but here's the catch: the timer had to start individually for each visitor, not globally.
After searching for existing solutions and finding nothing that fit, I decided to build it myself.
The result? A WordPress plugin that handles two scenarios:
1️⃣ 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀: Perfect for flash sales, event registrations, or webinars
2️⃣ 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀: Each user gets their own countdown from first visit
𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀:
⏰ E-commerce sites can create FOMO with personalized time-limited offers
🎯 SaaS companies can offer trial periods that start on first access
📚 Content creators can provide temporary preview access
🎪 Event organizers can auto-close registration pages
𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸: WordPress, PHP, JavaScript, Cookie-based tracking
Just pushed it to GitHub as an open-source project under GPL v2. The developer community has given so much to me - time to give back!
